use the command /opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm restart.
for Linux, use the command /opt/sun/cacao/bin/cacaoadm restart.
-
Complete the Portal Server installation by running the psconfig --config example-config-xml-file command.
The psconfig utility is located in PortalServer7–base/bin. By default, PortalServer7–base is /opt/SUNWportal.

Edit the configuration xml example files to specify the configuration
details.
For more details on constructing a config xml file, see Constructing a Configuration XML File.
To Verify the Installation
Verify the Portal Server software installation by:
-
Type protocol://fully-qualified-hostname:port/portal-URI in
the browser.
When you type the URL, the welcome page, a short description
of Portal server and links to sample portals that you selected for installation is
displayed. Click on one of the links and access the anonymous portal desktop for the
sample portal. If the sample Portal desktop displays without any exception, then your
Portal Server installation was successful.
-
Type protocol://fully-qualified-hostname:port/psconsole in the browser.
-
Run the following command to check if the gateway is running on the specified
port (the default port is 443):
netstat -an | grep port-number
If the gateway is not running, use the following command to
start the gateway:
PortalServer7-base/bin/psadmin
start-sra-instance -u amadmin -f amadmin-password-file --instance-type gateway --instance-name GatewayInstanceName
By default the PortalServer7–base is /opt/SUNWportal
Note –
Create a file and add amadmin password in plaint text
and pass it as an input to the -f option above.
Also view the log files. The log file name is picked up from the property called
debug.com.sun.portal.handler.java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern in
the platform.conf file.
-
Run the Portal Server in secure mode by typing the gateway URL in your
browser:
https://gateway-machine-name:portnumber
If you have chosen the default port (443) during installation, you need not specify
the port number.
